shrub trimming

We installed about 15 bushes and trees (all less than 5ft tall) last summer and want to give them a haircut as they’ve grown at different rates and can be cleaned up. Is there anyone you’ve used in the past that will do a nice job on this? While I know its not hard work, I also know that I’d butcher it. Thanks in advance…

What neighborhood are you in? You are always better of using someone that serves your local market. It will be cheaper, but they also build their reputation by having beautiful hedges etc. in the area that they work in.

I’ve used and like Aborpolitan and Urban Aborists. Both did good work, but the former has been a little easier to contact and get over here so I just use them these days. I’ve asked them to pretty harshly prune some trees and they do such a nice job that the trees look smaller, but not pruned.
